The Mommies celebrate Earth Day with interviews from the temporary Method store in Boston. We share "green" tips from our listeners and neighbors; drink healthier (with help from the Liquid Muse); and meet "super mom" Kate Gosselin from TLC's Jon & Kate Plus 8.

In our monthly Real Simple segment, deputy editor Lesley Alderman shares what your doctor wants you to know but doesn't have time to tell you. In the magazine's May issue, 10 specialists divulge the sort of advice they share with friends and family and wish all their patients would heed. This episode is sponsored by Audible Kids.

If you think it's impossible to find music that both you and your kids will agree on, think again! This week we share some of our favorite new releases, listener recommendations, and play excerpts of songs from Melissa Errico, Justin Roberts, The Dino Five, and Steve Roslonek.

We always like to hear the dad's perspective here at Manic Mommies, and this week we chat with CC Chapman, a recognized maven in the new media space, fellow podcaster, and dad of two. Among other things we talk about keeping kids save in cyberspace, bullying, splitting the housework and CC's formula for a successful marriage. For an added dose of the Manic Mommies this week, you can hear us on CC's podcast, Managing the Gray, where we talk about creating a brand using new media and how major companies are reaching out to moms online.

It's been a tough week in Erin's house, but the show must go on! We laugh (and whine a bit) about what happens when mom adds nursing duties to her already endless job description. We also speak with Alison Birnbaum, a spokesperson for the National Youth Anti-Drug Campaign about the rising incidence of prescription drug abuse among teens today and a new public awareness campaign targeting parents.
